As the fourth-generation PlayStation's launch looms, Sony is making sure that its console and portable gamers will have the freedom of choice to shop around for virtual products to play on their hardware.

Word out today is that US residents can now purchase digital versions of their favorite PlayStation-branded games from etailers other than Sony.

PlayStation 4 titles are a no-show at the moment, but will presumably make their way to Amazon's digital storefront soon enough, given that the console arrives this Friday in the US before making its way to Europe on November 29.
